We're Celebrating, They're Dieing

While we celebrate the winter's various holidays, the animals that are hibernating are getting unexpected wake up calls due to global warming. While the animals hibernate, they are conserving their energy. Say a Polar Bear is hunting for food. Food is scarce, so he just goes to sleep to conserve his energy of hunger. If he gets waken up unexpectedly, this abnormal activity can make him loose his energy, and he will die. This can do horrible things to the environment.
